Create reference photos from text descriptions. Generate lighting studies, color palettes, and composition references for your art and design work.

An AI-generated reference photo is a custom image created from a text description to serve as a visual study tool. Artists and designers use them to study lighting, composition, color palettes, or specific subjects without searching through stock libraries or staging photo shoots. You describe the reference setup you need, and the tool generates an image to work from.
